DEATH OF A HOLLOW MAN

Detective Chief Barnaby finds intrigue, deception, and ego among the principals in a local British community theatre group. During the opening night performance of Amadeus, the leading man is murdered on stage. Hugh Ross is spectacular introducing these devious, self-centered, and sometimes off-centered characters. His vivid imagination results in a colorful narration with a Shakespearean flair. Complicated relationships and difficult personality depictions pose no problem. The tiniest details are revealed, and clues are unraveled with dramatic flair and gusto. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
